Since 2000, Maribel of MarieBelle has been pleasing connesiurs with her unique collection of rare and delicate chocolates and confections at her retail boutique in Soho, New York. Her passion for chocolate is rooted in her upbringing in the cocoa fields of Honduras and is inspired by the exotic tropical fruits and flavors that delighted her as a child. A skilled chef, educated as a designer, Maribel fuses both of these passions together in her creations.

Shopping for chocolates and sweets at MarieBelle in Soho is a unique pleasure. In a space as beautifully styled as our famous creations, our guests feel as though they have left the bustle of New York City for a slice of European sophistication. The shop offers MarieBelle's newest and tastiest creations, some of which are unavailable for sale anywhere else, and we constantly sample our most favorite products to whet our guests' palates.
